Approach: Warm, personalised, science-based, compassionate, non-judgmental. Listens first and builds from what the client already has. No food rules, no mandatory weigh-ins, no shame. Practical advice based on real life rather than 'perfect eating'.
Weight Loss Approach
Person-first, compassionate approach focused on healthy habits and relationship with food rather than scale weight. No mandatory weigh-ins, no rigid meal plans, no shame or blame. Focuses on balanced eating, confidence, and sustainable long-term habits.
Supports patients on weight loss medications. Does not focus on food restriction.
GLP-1 Medication Support
Yes. Explicitly mentions supporting people who are starting or considering weight loss medications like Ozempic or Wegovy. Framed as nutrition support alongside medication prescribed by doctors.
